[ Oh hey Davesprite have a WHIRLWIND OF SPIDERBITCH CRASHING YOUR ROOM. A spiderbitch who has been testing out her brand new recuperacoon fuck yeah and who may still have traces of sopor slime on her clothes BUT WHO THE FUCK CARES ]
You fucking idiot why did nobody tell me you were back Jegus fuck even when I'm here people keep me in the dark and it sucks and how did you get fixed-- wait, fuck, you better be fixed or I'm personally going to beat your feathery orange ass.
[For a moment he just stares at Vriska, trying to make sense of the wordslurry coming from her mouth. It's pretty clear there's still something wrong with him; though he doesn't have the sickly, falling-apart look anymore, he's flickering every couple of minutes and his voice still keeps warping weirdly.]
[ Hnnngh. The textual weirdness was bad enough, but this makes her want to rip things apart. Or break something. Breaking something would work. Although Dave probably wouldn't appreciate having shattered eight-balls littering everything up so HEY WORDS MIGHT WORK TOO, MAYBE? ]
You're you now, right? You-you. The one who doesn't spend all his time licking some robobitch's bone nook or whatever? [...] 'Cause I hated that guy. He kind of sucked.
[ Genuine relief right there. AWKWARD relief, but still genuine okay shut up. ]
[ Shit. What do you even say to someone who just got brainraped more effectively than anything you could ever do? Being nice is hard. It's hard and no one understands. ]
Don't ever do that again. You know. Just in case you had any plans to.
[ Okay, just. Shutting the door now. Embarrassing. SO embarrassing. ]
...Don't thank me, Jegus. I mean, like. I still owe you and. Stuff. Remember? For. Things. So you're welcome. And shit. Glad to have you back and stuff.
[ That. That doesn't count as an apology, does it? F-ffffffff ]
Oh my god stop it. Just. God. This is weird enough without you trying to stop me from saying it, okay? I mean if I don't say it now I probably won't say it at all, so. Shut the fuck up.
[ Welp. Vriska is now speaking to a rather interesting spot on the wall just over your shoulder, dude. Wow, that sure is a fascinating wall right there and oh hey look wordvomit time! ]
Sorry.
[ Commence horrifyingly awkward babbling in five, four, three... ]
For killing you, obviously. I mean I think that you know I was sorry for that even if I never said it, but yeah. Now I have said it! I've put it right there on the table where everyone can see it. Well, not everyone. You and me. Whatever.
And. And I'm sorry for calling you fake. I didn't know how much it'd mess with your head or I wouldn't... Bluh, I'm lying again, I probably would still have said it. Because I'm kind of a bitch. You miiiiiiiight have noticed that! Haha. Uh. But anyway I don't really think you're fake. I mean. The way I see
( ... )
[Davesprite does, in fact, shut up. Actually, as he listens to the apology and the following wordvomit he just stares and if he wasn't so goddamn cool his mouth might be hanging open a little bit.
[Even after Vriska is done talking, it takes him a second to recover from the shock.]
...Well.
[ohgod how are you supposed to react to something like this]
Uh.
['sorry for making you kill yourself except you don't remember it and I wasn't really myself at the time' doesn't seem quite right after all that.]
I'd pretty much forgiven you for killing me, anyway.
As for the fake thing...
[Wow, that's something he really does not want to discuss right now! MOVING ON.]
[ Okay. Okay, that wasn't so bad. Awkward, sure, and horribly embarrassing and lame and all that junk. But it's also kind of a relief. Somehow. Sort of? ]
Um. Great! Thanks for, uh. Forgiving me.
[ WAIT NOPE NOW IT'S JUST AWKWARD AGAIN. Shit. FIX IT. ]
And stuff. You know. And not being a complete raging asshole about it. I guess.
[ ...Slightly better. Sob. What would a human do here? Oh, right. Smile. HEY DAVE HAVE A SMILE OH MAN THIS IS LIKE SMILECITY OVER HERE ]
Grubnapping. [WAIT THIS IS NOT THE TIME klj;lskj] Uh. Whatever! Like I give a shit. It wasn't you, right? Not really. Besides! It didn't happen to me, it happened to the other me. The old one. And she doesn't matter.
[ Shrug. ] I can say 'I forgive you' if you want, but bluh. Nothing to forgive. And, uh. You know. Empress Revenge over here. If I was pissed off I'd have stabbed you by now or something.
[ WAIT SHIT DON'T TALK ABOUT STABBING DAVE WHAT THE FUCK ]
...But like I said, uh, it's. Fine. No apology needed. As far as I'm concerned you just. Came to help when I called and stuff. And the crap after that never happened! So yeah.
The other you. [His voice is flat and expressionless when he repeats that. Why does this conversation keep veering towards the one subject he wants to avoid more than anything else?]
[And then, still in that lifeless tone, not quite managing to keep a hint of bitterness out:]
[The one that killed herself. He hides his head in his hands at that because suddenly all he can see is blue spraying everywhere and his sword buried in Vriska's stomach. He's pretty sure he'd be feeling sick now if he wasn't (fake) a sprite.]
F-fuck. [No, his shoulders aren't shaking. That's just. Uh. The glitching. Or something.]
You fucking idiot why did nobody tell me you were back Jegus fuck even when I'm here people keep me in the dark and it sucks and how did you get fixed-- wait, fuck, you better be fixed or I'm personally going to beat your feathery orange ass.
[ BREATHE ]

[The retort has even less energy than usual. All in all, Davesprite seems about as exhausted as someone who doesn't get physically tired can be.]
...Thanks, by the w-w-way. Fooor trying to talk sense to me the other day.

Yeah, well. I am actually capable of not being a complete asshole all of the time.
[Pause. Should he or shouldn't he? And then Vriska SMILES OH GOD HOW CAN SHE BE HAPPY SO MUCH GUILT.
I, uh. I'm sorry too.
I mean, I know it's not really... I was brainwashed and. Anyway.
Sorry for. For the whole kidnapping thing.

[ ...Okay, this isn't going so well. Even Vriska can't fail to notice the change in tone here. Fucking Earth human apologies, Jegus. So complicated.
Hmm. What would John do in this situation? ]
You want to, uh.
Talk about it? Or. Anything. I guess.
